.SH DESCRIPTION
\&g_bundle analyzes bundles of axes. The axes can be for instance
\&helix axes. The program reads two index groups and divides both
\&of them in \fB \-na\fR parts. The centers of mass of these parts
\&define the tops and bottoms of the axes.
\&Several quantities are written to file:
\&the axis length, the distance and the z\-shift of the axis mid\-points
\&with respect to the average center of all axes, the total tilt,
\&the radial tilt and the lateral tilt with respect to the average axis.
\&


\&With options \fB \-ok\fR, \fB \-okr\fR and \fB \-okl\fR the total,
\&radial and lateral kinks of the axes are plotted. An extra index
\&group of kink atoms is required, which is also divided into \fB \-na\fR
\&parts. The kink angle is defined as the angle between the kink\-top and
\&the bottom\-kink vectors.
\&


\&With option \fB \-oa\fR the top, mid (or kink when \fB \-ok\fR is set)
\&and bottom points of each axis
\&are written to a pdb file each frame. The residue numbers correspond
\&to the axis numbers. When viewing this file with \fB rasmol\fR, use the
\&command line option \fB \-nmrpdb\fR, and type \fB set axis true\fR to
\&display the reference axis.
